News outlets at the time would occasionally mention his (inevitably) unchanged condition. So, when he finally did die, SNL's weekend update parodied that by continuing to give updates (still dead). It was funny at the time. It's often snarky, doctrinaire liberalism aside, Weekend Update is and has been the only consistently funny thing on SNL - that and the commercial parodies. The rest of it is, for the most part, unfunny crap.Mr. Anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-52381304872796720812013-11-23T12:27:11.513-08:002013-11-23T12:27:11.513-08:00>Today marks the death of the obsession with th...>Today marks the death of the obsession with the death of JFK.<<br /><br />No, it will never end.

And if Kennedy was killed because he had no intention of fighting in Vietnam, why wasn't Nixon killed for making peace with China and pulling out of Vietnam--and signing arms control deals with the USSR? </i><br /><br />Let's assume Kennedy was waxed over Vietnam. Then you are suggesting that Nixon would have been killed too. But if Kennedy was killed over this issue, then whoever did it must have not wanted to turn Nixon into a martyr too. So better to have a scandal take down Nixon which eliminated him from office and made him, and the public's memory of him, toxic. It would appear that scandal and the destruction of one's reputation is a much better weapon than assassination which can backfire and turn the target into a saint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-10438849285806437632013-11-23T11:44:47.320-08:002013-11-23T11:44:47.320-08:00Clive Barker has a short story in which the inhabi...Clive Barker has a short story in which the inhabitants of two towns deep in the mountainous hinterlands of south-eastern Europe bind themselves together in the configuration of giant humanoids, which then develop some kind of gestalt consciousness and lumber across the countryside bringing death and havoc to everything in their path. I think these hysterical loonies at the New York Times imagine Dallas almost literally doing something of this sort to Joe Kennedy's pampered boy.<br /><br />I admittedly am not an American and have never been to Texas, but I had never heard of Dallas being known as the "city of hate" until a few days ago. Is this a big lie, presumably disseminated in a concerted effort by some latter-day version of Journolist, or was it ever actually known as such? I am suspicious.<br /><br />Also, the tactical use of the passive voice has been observed many times on this blog, and it's evident here as well. Much easier and more persuasive to say "Dallas was labelled" and "Dallas was stigmatized" rather than "Scots-Irish journalists labelled Dallas" and "Democrat strategists stigmatized"...Lee Harvey Kopechnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-41278119574964893512013-11-23T11:09:39.013-08:002013-11-23T11:09:39.013-08:00Last year, marking the 20th anniversary of the inc...Last year, marking the 20th anniversary of the incident, in the New York Daily News in which he admitted <i>"our language and tone sometimes exacerbated tensions and played to the extremists."</i> He said, <i>"I have grown.

It was truly stomach churning. I was shouting at the radio that it was a left winger who killed Kennedy.<br /><br />The next day, they had Goodwyn on again and he seemed to tone it down a bit and even he said that Oswald was most likely guilty and no different from a school shooter. NPR is interesting but I am growing increasingly tired of its constant stories about racism, gays and poor little put upon illegal immigrants. They often have heartwarming stories about actual criminal illegals who are being "mistreated" by the INS. One story was about a family of shoplifters and how "terrible" it was that they were deported.

Whichever they happened to be, shouldn't they be responsible to history and reflect on their past deeds of their people? <br /><br />Maybe just maybe such people spread the kinds of not-very-nice ideas that came to infect and poison the minds of lonesome losers like Oswald. <br /><br />But maybe such a people have sufficient influence in the media to push their version of the narrative.. whatever such may be. <br /><br />Could such a people also have an inordinate influence in the entertainment industry and have spread the kinds of views and prejudices that sometimes led this country to make unwise decisions in its foreign policy, especially in the Middle East? I dunno, just sayin'. <br /><br />Could it be that such a group tends to lack in self-criticism because other groups--that form the majority--are too timid and reluctant to speak the truth lest they lose favor with the elites? <br /><br />I recall a certain magazine cover after the election of 2012 that was rather unpleasant about white conservatives, especially the older and male ones.
